Subject: Tax Reform Comment: The mess we call the federal income tax is a disaster. I have recently become aware of a tremendous underground economy, mostly involving recent immigrants to this country. The best way to receive the appropriate tax dollars from these people, reaping benefits, is to enact the Fair Tax introduced by Rep. John Linder. It sounds as though this commission, as so many of public financed commissions, are going to take the easy way out rather than try to correct this disastrous system once and for all. In 1994 people elected Republicans in droves hoping to change the way things are done in Washington. It did not work, the incoming officials have resorted to the same old tricks we were tired of. I hope I am wrong, I hope you don't take the easy way out and do what is best for the American people, not the lobbyists and politicians. We need a public discussion on the Fair Tax now.
